@civodul When I did a talk covering Guix to the #ScryerProlog community, I hung the theme on the importance of reproducability.
I focused on the analogy of Robert Boyle's formation of the 'experimental method':

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_and_the_Air-Pump

This was to emphasize the value of Guix wrt reproducibility and its disciplines (either scientific or artisanal) and how this is significant for logical programming domains like Prolog.

#Guix is unlike encapsulation of Microsoft and future haipe generated forms.

Scryer Prolog Meetup 2025 | HSD PBSA

Upcoming talk by me on packing #ScryerProlog in #guix in Dusseldorf, November.

https://hsd-pbsa.de/veranstaltung/scryer-prolog-meetup-2025/

Emphases from me will cover the importance of #ReproducibleResearch and the gains from how Guix is well suited to not only providing precision for configuring but longevity of software stacks

@paultarvydas Any chance of adding #ScryerProlog to this list?

They are active and have a lovely community.

@hako Thanks for your efforts.

(Ive probably mentioned this before) Im sitting on a very large #ScryerProlog package definition, which I held off publicising (in addition to dotting all the copyright of previous packagers).

As such /when/ I can reapproach it I will be able to provide some benchmarking/comparison for a very complex build :)

(from recollection its about 80k LOC avoiding Guix's centralised package definitions).

Scryer-Prolog packaged in Guix · mthom scryer-prolog · Discussion #2776

Hello, Ive managed to package Scryer-Prolog in Guix (including with optional and developer dependencies) for all the toolchain. My WIP required testing over 2.5k package definitions and over 80000 ...

@aarroyoc Ive been thinking about your #ScryerProlog talk on compilers, given some recent reading around MLIR:

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=RFukO5Mi_NI

Is that a framework that you considered when thinking about Prolog compilation?

Btw, how was Fosdem for you?

@yaxu I referenced some #ScryerProlog people. Some may be interested given their approaches to #ConstraintLogicProgramming and mixing disciplines

Today, I solved the two parts using #ScryerProlog, which is nice, but it might be a problem. I finally got an optimized version of the system compiled for riscv64 (compiled in another machine) but the system is still very limited in resources.
